She didn’t know it was a fake? Sure, I can see that. Anytime I have a million dollars in my pocket, the first place I go to do my shopping is Dollar Tree.

Several years ago I read an article where a man tried to purchase something at a Best Buy with several $2 bills. The store manager called the police who then arrested the man.

I cry for my Country.

Let’s not rush to judgement and condemn all of the members of Mensa because of the actions of these two.

Guess their gene pool has a minor flaw.

That's partly my fault. When I handed it to them in exchange for some services rendered, they asked me if it was for real and I reassured them that indeed it was. They left happy and were skipping down the street when I last saw them.

I feel kind of bad now.

Speaking of the Amish.

Drive the checkout people nuts.

Ask them if they take Amish money ? or Hawaiian money.

“Should have gone to One Million Dollar General. They would have taken it with no questions.”

either that, or bought one million items at Dollar General so they wouldn’t have to make change ...

I save every $2 bill I get my hands on. It's my favorite of all the bills due to the image on the reverse side. As an aside, IIRC, the little girl who sued one at lunch actually had an earlier version of the $2 bill that still said it was a United States Note as opposed to a Federal Reserve Note.

I remember when $2 bills were a fad the second time around. What’s weird is that I’d heard that most of them wound up in Europe for whatever reason.

The one hundred trillion dollar bill has become a novelty item and now sells for about 100$

Wow, that brought back memories. I haven’t thought about that comic book in 40 years. My favorite character in the series was Tricky Prickears, the blind detective.

Funny how I can’t remember where I put my car keys from yesterday. But I can still remember ol’ Tricky.

Pretty soon this will be considered a small bill just like it was in Germany in the 20’s. Then came Hitler and WWII. But don’t worry, we have Biden now.

In our old office the boss had hung a framed sheet of $2 US bills on the wall going into the mens room.
I think it was his way of trying to intimidate you about how much time you spent in there.

I think George Wallace used that joke during his run for President in 1968.

Real millionaires probably don’t carry $1 million dollar bills around, pay by credit card, and don’t shop at Dollar General.
